Jaso

The issue is one of ego (and quick read this because I am sure to get mod smacked) - the developers listend to people who they are friendly with. Those people are hardcore pve people. We pvp people have a history of not being nice to the developers. Call it a viscious circle they ignore us, we call them fat, they get mad ignore us more, we call them fatter and so on.

So they asked their most loyal friendly folk, "why don't you pvp?" The responses were simple "I go in a zone and get ganked, my mace tank is not good in pvp but super awesome in pve, there are only certain builds in pvp that are good and they dont mesh with my Cat persona..."

and so on.

So the devs took all thier suggestions and lumped them into a few themes

"I attack someone and some other stupid player heals them, it should be like PVE where I can kill NPCs without having to think or use teamwork..I mean LOL they are not AVs...."

Thus we were given Heal Decay

"I attack someone but they run away, it should be like PVE where they stand there and let me kill them"

Thus we were given Travel Supression

"I attack this dominator and he pops domination like three times, and does so much damange and holds me! I mean LOL they are not AVs"

Thus we were given DR....

So TPTB said "if we change all this will you guys PVP?" and the Super Friends all nodded yes!

and they made it so. But the Super Friends were not happy. "My powers don't work like they do in PVE!!!"
"But you said this was how you wanted it!!"
"We don't like it, make us more hats!"

The PVPers who saw all this in beta said "Uhhhhhhhhhh wow" and left.

The sad part is - they could turn off HD and TS easy in zones. It is already a tick in arena. DR is harder because off it makes resisitance insanse and everyone hard to defeat...but 75% of the complaints about pvp are TS and HD.

So why don't they? Ego...(no not that EGO....RAWR)..The devs refuse to admit they made a mistake. They just go on making more hats, and panther stealth, and bird faces..because in the end that is what the Super Friends really want.

are you looking to roll one or have a 50 already? If you have not made one I hear fire/poison is a much better combo.

if you have a 50 already

the ranged dmg + the snipe
two grantable res sheilds - the res bubble
the sonic debuff and clarity power

ss/sj/acro
stealth/inivs/phase
manuv/tactics


dark patron for the soul storm and power boost

get the incarnate heal..unless there is a better incarnate to get these days.

You get all that from a single - to hit debuff proc in a power?

I think the op was looking for an arena build, curious on the AA proc in boxing, I thought that it only works in as a chance to when used?

yes they are both in 1v1 and teaming in zones. 2-3 mms teamed in a zone are beastly.

I went in to rv healed and got TS on me and healed for progressivly less, seems broken to me.

your right my case was more zone based but I guess you don't see therms or posions in zone...obviously your the best person to give blaster advice so I will just refrain from posting.

why would you be having issues that looks awesome.

they made those awesome books into MOVIES???????

Here is an idea - people who pay for the game...get hd/ts off.

I am at 7 and don't really care about incarnates only bothered to get them once - what about the toons am I cut down to 2 or do I still get access to all my toons?

I can't figure out what i lose access too...what changes?

You can always run low level tourneys in arena - level 4 can be pretty fun - or if you want create a level 20 tourney or what ever level you want. If you are talking zone pvp then Bloody Bay is really your only option but even then with the changes to what powers are availabe in sub rv pvp zones your are really talking about level 25 ish..

honestly though a level 50 is 6 hours and 5 dollars away if you strick pvp toon...grinding for the accos and incarnates sux but otherwise you can build a meat shield or stalker or fotm and still have fun.
